| | So, yeah, this weekend... kinda blew. I did a whole bunch of reading and not much else. I read 60 pages of Japan's total empire and like fifty maybe more of Japanese Identity, which was okay, but took up a lot of the day. I think I have the outline of what I am going to present tomorrow (I have to remember to make it more thematic and less fact oriented... sigh).
Hey, did your elementary school use the smelly markers (you know, red smelled like cherries, brown like cinnamon)? Frank was deprived as a kid. I thought private school was supposed to give kids the best of everything, he didn't get smelly markers (mister sketch) or the clear plastic tubes of glue.
I dropped off animal crackers and juice at sterling's today, because well, I missed him (and people in general), I don't think I woke him, but wow, he looked disheveled.. perfecting his Johnny Depp bedroom sexiness (which may have been why I started talking a lot, sometimes he makes me nervous. I am all for having handsome guyfriends, but it comes with the occasional nervous chattering on my part).
Sometimes I think I still suffer from bouts of Lata's oppositespeech, whenever she sees a guy she likes she goes out of her way to be, if not rude, but distant. It's not an allure thing, its a defense mechanism. I remember doing this, too, like when a guy a really liked in junior high asked me if I would go out with him (it was clearly a joke and uttered for the whole school bus to hear), I said "No, who would want to go out with you, you egotistical jerk?", and I am pretty sure I managed to find an excuse to shove him later that day. I mean, I've found that that approach, for some crazy reason, just doesn't make men coming running to your door with offers of dinner and flowers, and I abandoned it, for my current policy of: omnipresence. I found myself the other day paying the 35 cent ATM fee at my videostore because the asshole I don't like who works there told me about it... I said yeah I know, and did it anyway. For no good reason, other than I don't like him because he ignores me!
You know, I puzzle myself sometimes.
